Recently, I took some days off work and traveled with my family to Ekiti State, Nigeria (The land of Pounded yam, I bet the Yorubas will relate) I literally ate pounded yam all through my nights there and as a result gained 3 kg, since then I've been nagging about the extra fat. I decided to have salad all through this week (don't judge me, Unhealthy Fat is my enemy). After having proper veggies salad for two days, I got bored and decided to try something exciting. Healthy eating does not have to be boring and that's why many people have developed exciting ways to stay healthy and eat well.

Welcome to another Habbies-How-To series.So I have a confession about Basmati Rice. I don't know how to eat plain basmati rice (I wish someone else can relate with this.)

I've tried jollof basmati, fried basmati rice and beyond reasonable doubts, in both scenarios, the taste was never displeasing to the mouth.Here's another way to have your rice without all the "mende-mende"

My craving for chicken these days, is out of this world. The whole of last week, I literally kept drooling on chicken pictures I saw social media platforms, the peppered, crispy, tendered, my oh my, maybe it was the coke infused chicken wings from last month that caused it o. I mean, that recipe was the bomb.

Here's another way of getting superb flavors in one chicken dish.

Ingredients:

1 cup of Eisberg Rose wine

3 tablespoons of Teriyaki sauce

about 5 garlic cloves, crushed

1 medium sized onion, diced

Salt and black pepper to taste

3 tablespoons coconut oil

2 tablespoons of honey

10 pieces of Chicken wings

Juice from 1 lemon

Method:

Mix all the ingredients in a pan except the wings and lemon. Heat for about 10 minutes and set aside to cool

Wash the wings with lemon juice. Stir in the wings and be sure to coat all the parts well.

Marinate for as long as you can (Mine was for about 2 days, I literally just left it in the fridge to chill )

Pre-heat oven for about 5 minutes, arrange wings in baking pan and place in the oven for about 25-30 minutes.

Just look at the gravy fro the sauce...Oh-So-Yummy.

Enjoy wings with any dish of choice.

I made a pepper sauce with the gravy and dipped the wings in the sauce. Bursting flavors all together.
